    wow. i can't believe this homage to the New York No Wave scene is passing off as "ground breaking." Last I heard, incessant pants and 3 not motifs over a driving rhythm section constituted as crap...and just noise. aesthetic is dead.

    The Mae-shi are not only talented musicians but also some of the nicest guys ever. They put on an extremly entertaining live show you will never forget.

    Unless you're fifteen and were raised with a mouse constantly in hand, the Mae Shi can get overwhelming... but their saving graces (lots of genuine energy, naming their songs things like "Hieronymus Bosch is a Dead Man") charm you into liking them.

    While the fragments themselves are never short on energy, they are short on substance-- Terrorbird simply doesn't equal the sum of its parts.

    Imagination and ambition pop up all over Terrorbird. Unfortunately, it's tunefulness that's lacking.
